Non-descript location but we loved it. More like a VRBO property than a hotel. Communication with host was very good, especially since we had questions about accessing the property. Would definitely stay here again if ever in the Philadelphia area.
The check in process was easy, I had email trouble and called the property and they helped me out immediately. The AC was nice and cold and the room was perfect with a great walkable location to historic sites and our concert venue at Union Transfer. Great stay!
Stayed a week for work. Close to the trains, Chinatown, shopping, and corner eats! Room was clean, bathroom was spacious, and the bed was comfy. Would definitely stay again:
The room was exactly as described and conveniently located. Staff communicated all needed information in advance and responded rapidly to questions. I highly recommend staying here!
We were fortunate to get 1 of 2 parking spaces by the front door, not sure where others park. Full kitchen was very nice. AC worked well. Quiet and homey feel.
As for location, only blocks from downtown, but on the walk there are sleeping homeless. Streets are kept clean, though.
very welcoming staff, very thoughtful decor and relaxation items (from coffee & tea, to their choice of lotion and body wash!). I cannot wait to visit again :) we opted for street parking and it was not too bad at all for us (stayed thurs-sat).

The property is on a convenient location. It’s was fairly clean however there was mold in the shower (small amount). Also be advised there is no tv in the room so bring your own devices.
Fun loft room with a single bed under the stairs for kids or smaller adults. Great location made it easy to walk. If you are driving, make sure to add parking because on street parking is difficult to find and parking spots for the property are secure but very limited.
We absolutely enjoyed our stay here. Communication was top notch, the Loft was awesome . The only thing I would say is if you need entertainment bring a laptop or tablet there are no tv’s in the loft, the WiFi was great though.
We needed to be close to the Convention Center and it only took us about 10 minutes to walk there and Reading terminal. I would absolutely stay here again . Much better than a hotel!
This place is great. Close enough to urban shops, good value, easy access, roomy, modern feel... and if you are an oddball energy efficiency person, you'll find a minisplit AC system, energy recovery ventilator, heat pump clothes dryer. Kind of a niche value set, I realize, but appreciated by energy nerds!

Room was spacious and clean, nice kitchenette, bed was incredibly comfortable, and we loved the no-contact check in process!
The Poor Richard apt is perfect for 2 people. We didn’t cook but the kitchen is well suited. The apt was more spacious than I was expecting. The bed was comfy and very soft. When in Philly I would definitely stay here again. We were there for a concert at Underground Arts and it’s literally around the corner. Reading terminal market and the Convention center was a few blocks down the street.
